Great video, POWERFUL words!!!
How could anyone think there isn't a God. He loves us so much, that He sacrificed His ONE AND ONLY SON to be our Savior !!!
He is jealous for me, and vigilant to protect me!
Some
get it at a very young age. Some get it at middle age. Some don’t get
it till much later in life. I didn’t really get it till later in life,
but I’m so thankful I did. He NEVER gave up on me. I know now, He tried
to get my attention in many ways. Some were gentle, and some were with
His wind of discipline. His love is like a hurricane, but serves for a
great purpose, and I have become a better reflection because of His
great mercy. It took the hurricanes of His love to prune me in so many
areas of my life, to realize… “Oh, How He Loves”
I
don’t know about you, but I hate when I hear a hurricane may hit us.
Just knowing the damage that the wind can do. But God’s winds are
different. They have a purpose, and are meant for our good, and the good
of others. You learn to, maybe not like them, but understand them
better. 2 Corinthians 4:17 says, “Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an ETERNAL GLORY THAT FAR OUTWEIGHS them all.”
Nahum 1:12
“Although I have afflicted you….I will afflict you no more.” So by His
word we could see that we will get afflicted. But we also see that it
will end. Every affliction is for a reason, and that reason brings God
glory. The darkness of all my afflictions, always become eclipsed by His
glory. That’s when you realize just how beautiful He is, and how great
His affections are for you.
You've seen what the winds of a hurricane can do to the fullest tree. Some
branches not even touched, and some pruned to almost nothing. But when
the storm passes, in time nature repairs everything to its beauty.
That’s how God uses us . He says, "you remain in me and I in you..." (John 15:5). I believe this is something God teaches us in
our walk with Him. The afflictions that come our way are only for a
season. I don’t believe they end until our words and actions of our
life, come to glorify God. To testify with praise and honor of what He
has done, and is doing inside us. Taking all our weaknesses and fears,
and showing His strength inside us. Taking our complaining and the “why
me” and turning them into praise and thanksgiving.
I
don’t envy anyone else’s walk, I learn by them that have been through
the storms before me. I realize I have so much more to learn, and that
God is never finished with us here.
I’ve
come to realize some might have fuller branches than me, but we are all
from the same root. I am still learning to bend beneath the weight of
His wind and mercy.
